Informal design tools can provide immense value during the creative stages of the design
process, eg, by transforming sketches into interactive simulations. Two key limitations of …

Numerous concept generation methods have been developed that can assist an engineer in
the initial phases of design. Unfortunately, limited empirical data is available to guide users …

Group brainstorming is a popular ideation method for design teams, yet brainstorming
outcomes vary greatly. The method depends on individuals working collectively to generate …

Design researchers are increasingly interested in techniques that support creative teams in
various design processes. The methods developed for sharing knowledge and generating …

This paper presents a conceptual space for collective design to facilitate development of
design environments that encourage large-scale participation in the next generation of …

The creative sketching partner (CSP) is a proof of concept intelligent interface to inspire
designers while sketching in response to a specified design task. With this interactive system …

Studies of creativity have shown that idea generation within groups produces fewer novel
ideas. To address this, we examine ways to stimulate the creative process in idea …

When designers explain their early design ideas to others, they usually use face-to-face
communication along with sketches. In practice, however, sometimes face-to-face meetings …

Research in design creativity has focused on individual creativity and on creativity in a
collaborative or organizational setting. Collective design and crowdsourcing creativity differ …

We present Co-3Deator, a sketch-based collaborative 3D modeling system based on the
notion of" team-first" ideation tools, where the needs and processes of the entire design …
